Normal People

i don’t think i’ll ever stop thinking abt deez normal people. i think the consistent revisiting of a piece of media can be a fickle thing. it can sometimes lose its meaning or novelty and become a tired subject quickly. but this is my 5th year and i’m happy to report that this is still one of my favorite things ever and still makes me feel a pit in my stomach and a heaviness i cant fully place.   revisiting something yearly is also special because obviously circumstances in your own life can change drastically in that amount of time but the characters you revisit never do, only your perception and understanding of them does. this time around i think i found even more of what connell and marianne go through reflected in my own life in many facets be it their relationship not only with each other but also with their academic experiences. not to be that person but i really do see a lot of myself in both of these characters. and i think that’s pretty neat!  i have also since the last rewatch been to ireland for the first time and visited trinity! which was awesome and beautiful and cool and i’ve convinced myself i need to go to school there and live there forever and ever. very special show. very special book. sally rooney u awesome, awesome woman i will never stop talking abt ur writing.
